Trade plate drivers move individual vehicles by driving them from pickup to drop-off using temporary trade plates and this can all be managed within the TMS.
After planning and sending a route to a driver, they will receive a text message directing them to accept or decline the route within their driver app (if your organisation has driver accept/reject enabled).
Viewing driver schedules
The planning view in the TMS shows each driver's schedule across the day (or multiple days). You can see:
Which jobs are assigned to each driver
Estimated timing for each pickup and drop-off
Gaps in the schedule where more jobs could be added
Breaks and rest periods
Multi-day routes for trade plate drivers
For longer-distance moves, trade plate drivers may need multi-day routes. The TMS supports this with:
Routes that carry over across consecutive days
Breaks (overnight stops, mandatory rest) built directly into the route
Full trip continuity visible in the Gantt chart
